Looking and sounding like a herd
of thundering buffalo, thousands of
freshmen, transfers and returning
students poured into Chapel Hill
during the weekend of Aug. 17 much
to the delight of area businessmen.
After hours of heaving boxes,
trunks and bags into dormitory
rooms, UNC students hit Franklin
Street, area bars and businesses by
the thousands.
At He's Not Here, business
increased substantially during the
first week UNC students were back
in Chapel Hill. According to Mark
Burnette, manager of the bar, top
name bands and specials kept his
business' profits stable during the
summer moiiths.-- :;- -
The Rathskeller had a consider
able jump in business over previous
summers this year, Charles Smith, ;
the restaurant's manager said. This
resulted because The Rathskeller
gets a lot of its revenue from
businessmen and people living
throughout the Triangle area and not
just students and alumni.
Fowler's Food Store almost
doubled its revenue with the restart
of classes according to its
management.
Spanky's Restaurant has doubled
its size by adding an upstairs dining
area. The lower area has been
remodeled and is open to the public
now; the upper level should open in
two to three weeks according to
manager Jay Bryson.
"We've received a tremendous
turnout since our reopening," Bry
son said. "We're really looking
forward to having the upstairs done
Executive Branch retreat
stresses commynicatioro
By KAREN YOUNGBLOOD
Staff Writer .
About 35 members of the Executive
Branch of Student Government
retreated last Friday, not from hostile
students, but to Camp Caraway, where
they made plans for the year and
addressed student concerns.
Ray Wallington, an executive assist
ant to Student Body President Patricia
Wallace, said one of the topics discussed
was communication between Student
Government and students.
"One of the major points was opening
up communication within Student
Government and with the student
population," Wallington said. "The
student governments in the past have
reached only a small sector of . the
population. We're working on develop
ing a sort of special relationship between
the student population and the
administration."
Wallington said the executive branch
planned to open communication
through a newly created committee
called the Campus Liaison Committee.
Wallington said the committee would
act as an ombudsman between the
executive branch and students.
"Through that, well try to reach
students and student organizations," he
said. "If it helps in no other way, it serves
to extend the normal reins of Student
Government and involve the students.
If it works, we will have ties into
everything on campus. And if it works
well, we should be made aware of
concerns."
Heather Powell, Wallace's executive
secretary, said another concern
addressed at the retreat was the com
munication between students and the
administration.
"Until we close out all the "evidence
needed to locate Stewart the case is still
open," he said.
"It's a real delicate situation right,
now, and we are waiting for informa
tion. Until we find her we can't release
any more information. We don't want
to jeopardize the case, so we don't want
to comment," he said.
As of late Thursday afternoon, the
whereabouts of Stewart were still
unknown, and police are continuing to
search for her. Earlier Thursday, several
local news organizations reported that
Stewart's body had been found in a
shallow grave in a rock quarry off of
Highway 54 west. The remains were
later found to be those of an animal.
Wright was arrested in Nashville
Monday for driving his father's stolen
pickup truck, and Nashville police had
planned to return him to North Carol
ina to face larceny charges.
Hillsborough police would not say
when the truck was reported stolen.
North Carolina authorities asked the
Nashville Juvenile Court to turn over
Wright's clothing and hair samples in
in time for Carolina's first football
game." ,
One topic causing controversy and
concern for Chapel Hill businessmen
and bar-owners throughout the state
is the 21 drinking age. The new law,
scheduled to go into effect in October
1986, will virtually eliminate drink
ing by freshmen and sophomores.
The proposal has angered the major
ity of underclassmen and disturbed
the management of area bars who
cater to UNC students.
"Of course, the new law will have
an effect on business," Burnette said.
Burnette's concerns are not only
with the profits He's Not Here will
lose, but also with the damage it will
do to the entire Chapel Hill
community.
r; vTaxes are" a "major part "of our
business, and in paying them, we are
returning to. the school what it has
given us," he said.
"In a bar the atmosphere is
controlled, with bouncers and
responsible bartenders. Those who
will no longer be able to be super
vised will be encouraged even more
to illegally get beer and find them
selves in the wrong situations."
f
Burnette's comments summarize
those of other managers of bars and
restaurants. Even though "raths
keller" in German means "the wine
house," its namesake on East Frank
lin St. won't feel the punch of the
new law much.
"Our revenues come overwhelm
ingly from food service," Charles
Smith, The Rathskeller's manager,
said. "We don't expect to suffer
many losses because of the drinking
age."
"We came up with a bunch of ideas,"
Powell said. "Patricia's the main link
with the administration, but we're also
working on a chancellor committee.
That's a link with the administration
that over the years has been kind of
forgotten."
Powell said the executive branch also
was making Student Government job
descriptions to ease the transition of
subsequent student governments.
"One big long-range plan was work
ing on the transition," Powell said.
"Apparently, people had a hard time
with it."
Wallington said the creation of a job
description handbook would help
student governments in the future.
"In the past, people would come in
and be given a certain job title but
weren't aware of what exactly their job
was," he said. "The term of the student
body president is not that long. When
they have to take time to start the ball
rolling, it cuts down on time you could
use to handle problems on campus."
Both Wallington and Powell said that
although there were no big issues facing
the executive branch now as there have
been in the past, people within it were
bracing themselves for any issues that
might arise.
"Really, 1 think that any major issue
we face will be one we form," Walling
ton said. "There is no really big issue
facing the campus right now. Given the
situation in South Africa, that could be
a major issue in coming months. But
we have to be prepared for that."
"We are ready," Powell said. "There
will probably be one problem on
parking or something like that soc"er
or later."

not mention the kidnapping and armed
robbery charges sworn out against him.
Chapel Hill police would not describe
how they connected Wright to the
kidnapping case. They also would not
comment on what type of efforts were
being made to find Stewart.

President Reagan will visit N.C. State
University on Sept. 5 to explain his tax
reform plan, one of a series of stops
around the nation planned by the
president.
The announcement Thursday ended
much speculation regarding the trip.
The White House had been holding out
until final arrangements with NCSU
were made.
r Reagan will speak to. students in the
1500-seaf Reynolds Coliseum at 1 1:30
a.m. The visit is expected to be non
partisan, a chance for Reagan to explain
and defend his tax proposals.
Reagan's last trip to North Carolina
was to Charlotte in October 1984, where
he met with Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, .
and former Charlotte Mayor Eddie
Knox during a campaign stop. His last
visit to Raleigh was in October 1982,
when he awarded singer Kate Smith the
Medal of Freedom.
John Kanipe, vice chancellor for
development at NCSU, said the univer
sity had extended an invitation to
Reagan a considerable time ago and
that the president recently had accepted.
"The speech will be of national policy
magnitude related to the administra
tion's policies on the long-term solu
tions to the nation's economic prob
lems," said Kanipe. The president feels
that it is appropriate to announce his
policies to a college-age audience
because they are the people who, in the
future, will have to deal with economic

when the man approached them and
ordered them in the car. The assailant
handcuffed Stewart. He then told her
companion to drive them around, and
when they came to the Swain Hall
parking lot he and Stewart got out of
the car. He ordered Stewart's compan
ion to drive away and not look back.
Police released a list of items Wed
nesday afternoon that were in the purses
belonging to Stewart and her compan
ion with the hope that some of the items
might turn up. The kidnapper, took the
women's purses when he abducted '.
Stewart.
Pendergraph said he wasn't sure if
the list was complete or who provided
the information about the list. Stewart's
purse, a wine-colored bag with a
shoulder strap, contained a wine
colored wallet which was about 6 inches
long. Among the things in the purse
was $200 in $20 bills. The wallet also
contained an Ohio driver's license, a
Visa card with Sovran Bank, Va., a J.C.
Penney charge card, a checkbook, a
UNC identification card; a UNC
athletic pass, a UNC fall registration
card and a Social Security card.
Police also said their was a Central

Stewart's friend's purse was also
maroon and about 8 inches long. It
contained a Texaco credit card and a
MasterCard.

Kanipe said an advance team from
Washington indicated that Reagan
would be in Raleigh for two or three
hours. After the speech, the president
is scheduled to eat lunch and a hold
a question and answer session with
NCSU students.
"We're very excited about the visit,"
Kanipe said. "We're very proud that our
institution has been selected. We're
expecting full cooperation between the
univeTsityand sate. government..
Dale Petrosky, Reagan's assistant
press-secretary, said the president was
scheduled to visit Independence, Mo.,
during the Labor Day weekend and that
the Raleigh visit would be the second
major trip for Reagan since his surgery.
Petrosky said that the president
planned to "show off" his tax reform
proposals and that North Carolina was
one area where he wanted to begin his ,
series of speeches.
Tim Pittman, Gov. Jim Martin's
press secretary, said the governor and
Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan would attend the
Reagan speech.
"The governor's delighted that the
president is coming," Pittman said. "We
don't have all the details on the
welcoming and the motorcade. The
Reagan people will have to work all
the details out. They're pretty meticu
lous about it."
Pittman said that no press conference
would be scheduled but that Reagan
would meet with 25 NCSU students and

Lewis shows bre form
By DEMISE MOULTRIE
Staff Writer
Men from Lewis Dorm decided to
take it all off and let it all hang out
Wednesday night.
Mark Allard, a junior from Rogers,
Ark., was appointed leader of Lewis'
biannual streak through the Triad
the area between Aycock, Everett and
Cobb dorms.
Allard, who also led the streak last
year, said: "We had a good freshman
turnout. In all, there were about 30
guys."
The streak was more than a chance
to get out and bare all. "We met and
mapped out our route," Allard said. "At
about 1 1 o'clock, we started practicing
the song that we sing when we streak."
The song described how a Lewis man
spent time with his girlfriend and how
refreshed and relaxed he felt when he
left her company.
John Fitzgerald, another streaker,
said, "We didn't want any trouble, so
we called the RAs and let them know

made up yet. We'll have to wait and
see."
A Helms staffer in the Raleigh office
said she hadn't heard about the con
firmation of the visit.
-wef were coming". Fitzgerald, is a junior
from Arlington, Va.
"After that, we stripped, left Lewis
and ran to Aycock, right into about 200
screaming girls," Allard said.
"We lost some of our men when we
saw cops in the Triad," Fitzgerald said.
"One guy ran right into a cop. We were
told that as long as we didn't cause any
trouble, we would be all right," he said.
"We didn't cause any trouble. We just
had good clean fun."
Allard said the streak was to release
some of the new semester's tension.
"Everyone is so uptight at the beginning
of classes. But just the same, there were
a lot of flash bulbs."
Allard was recognized in one of his
classes as the "guy who thanked the
Aycock girls for showing up.
"1 was pretty happy, and 1 really
appreciated the way they turned out,"
he said.
Lewis will streak again next semester,
giving an hour's notice to the victims.
Fitzgerald asked: "How can we get
good mixers if we don't advertise?"
